This is a harder question than it appears, as I do not know the equipment you already have. There is a company in Rapid City, SD which makes Black Hills Gold Jewelry. The company, Lundstrom's (I believe that is spelled correctly), uses handicapped people to fabricate their jewelry. This is great as it gives them a job and at the same time teaches them a skill. However, this is one-on-one in the same location.

A few years ago, I was involved in a remote education program. Helping to build he program itself. I think with what you are saying, this is something you may need to purchase if you wish to do this across the Internet. Another solution would be for you to hook up with a University who would offer the course in Jewelry Making over the Internet. Many Universities will offer courses like this if they feel they can get enough people to register. Once you get the hang of the computer programs, you can always go out on your own.
